Welcome to my internet-weaving corner! I am a Swedish weaver and knitter that has been weaving for a couple of years on rigid heddle looms and floor looms, and more recently with other techniques too! I upload casual weaving content, like vlogs and project videos about the weaving projects I have going on.
If you have suggestions about other small weaving youtubers - let me know! I would love to build my weaving community here on youtube!
Swedish viewers can also check out Hantverkshärvan here on youtubue, a Swedish language knitting and weaving video-podcast, I run together with friend Hanna aka hannacookieknits
Happy Weaving!

Weaving a rigid heddle scarf with pick up sticks
I received a sweater kit from Eddna.se through my Swedish channel @hantverksharvan but i decided to turn it into a rigid heddle scar f inspired by the sweater ( Visby, designed by Sara Klint) rather than knit the sweater. This is the results! If you want all the details about the how much yarn i used, which heddle etc., you can jump the end of the video.
The Pick-up-stick pattern i used was (heddle down position) 3-1-3-1 etc, followed by 1-3-1-3 etc, to get the effect seen in the video. Let med know if it's unclear after watching the video!

Weaving a houndstooth shawl on the rigid heddle loom
มุมมอง 6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I show my start to finish process of weaving a hounds tooth shawl on my Ashford knitters loom (rigid heddle loom) with a 12.5 dent/inch heddle. The yarn used is Sandnes Mini Alpakka, Sandnes Alpacka Silk, Hven Alpacka and a sock yarn of unknown origin. The shawl was inspired by the project "Wrap me in houndstooth" form the may/june 2021 issue of Handwoven Magazine. Although I didn...

Hi. I do not see well how you select the sticks. Can you explain it, please
Does it help with unbalanced weave?
It's beautiful wonderful look to it. Thank you for sharing your work
Hi this is the first time I have joined you and I really enjoyed how your went through weaving the scarf and the details of the wool used pattern. The scarf is beautiful-very natural 🧶😊
Thank you so much! And welcome 🤗
I loved Pippi Longstocking! These books started my love of reading!!
Astrid Lindgren is a Swedish national treasure!
Lovely scarf. I like that you added spots of the pickup in the plain weave sections.
I love that this most ancient of arts can use the most recent technology of 3D printing! Still smiling! You wove a beautiful band! I hope to do that one with I get my loom out next. Thank you for the video! 😊
Thank you! Yes I also find that so cool! Somehow, weaving is always relevant to the latest technology, it's amazing!
After much frustration I now warp my cards like you do. So much better and no frustration. Thank you for this video
Queensland Spinners and Weavers - QSFA - is an amazing resource
Yes! I still miss them, they were so important to my weaving journey!
Your video has been so helpful, my mother bought me a Glimåkra Ideal in 1985 in Sweden, and I am just finally getting it set up now. Thanks for your tips and your photography of the loom which helps me see how and where things go. Looking forward to more videos of yours. Tack så mycket.
So glad I could help!
Thank you for this. Is this the 90cm version?
Yes, this is the 90cm!
Hi, do you still have your Glimakra? I have just acquired the same one and need photos of how the lamms and treadles work. Can you show me how it is tied up please?
Sorry, late reply, but I have moved houses and with that my Glimåkra got a new home at a local weaving association. Hope you got this sorted!
Very nice ❤.
Sorry, couldn't watch this due to the ruddy awful 'music'
Do you want to share the pattern?
It's listed in the notes for the video. I downloaded it from there.
Hi Sarah, thanks for the very helpful video 😊. When you warp is it very heavy to pull away from the wall please? Also how many boxes does it come in, and are they very heavy? Thanks 😊
Sorry for the late reply. Don't remember how many boxes, perhaps 3 or 4? Some quite heavy. It's not very heavy to move a little bit. In my new location I have it set up so I don't have to move at all which is great
@@sarakaluczaweaving ahh no worries, I have one now!
I love that you 3D print the cards!
Continuous warping is so MUCH less complicated!
Hi Sara - thanks! My son wants to try 3D printing the tablets etc but I can't see your full link to thingyverse - can you re-type it here please? Thanks - Ani
love your wrap! beautiful job!. I just have one question. What was you EPI? and did you use the same PPI? I am curious because I have about the same weight yarn.
Thank you. I like the Ashford, Schacht or Louet David floor Loom. Your explanation on the Louet David III helped me with narrowing down what i wants/needs.
I am admiring your weft-faced sample from JST! Good job and your edges are cleaner than mine!
My grand father always had to set up the loom for his mother with own harvested and hand spun flax from the fields
I do believe that indeed have a different shirt fashion than the last time, do I see as well that you changed you hairdresser?
Oh now when you mention it...
Excellent choice
thank you so much, I have a Dryad counter balance loom that I acquired in pieces! We managed to build it and replace the few missing bits, however it has been so difficult to find any information on how to set it up and get those shafts to balance beautifully. I am now inspired to go and put in place the tips you have given.
Hi Sara, I’m about to receive an inkle look for Christmas and fancy trying this band. What yarn did you use? Thanks Kat
What a great gift! I used cotton, something a crochet cotton, which is a good place to start! Wool can be a bit sticky
Thank you so much for these tips. I have a swedish 4 shaft counterbalance loom with instructions (technical school) to alter it to 6 shafts and am having so much trouble balancing it. The elastics seem a brilliant solution.
Om glad it's helpful! The balancing can be challenging especially for narrower warps, The elastics are such an easy and cheap game changer!
Great video! I have some of the same looms as you have: a Louet David (mine's the first generation, with the swinging beater), a Glimakra Ideal, only mine is Countermarch. I hope to order the Counterbalance mechanism for it soon, for versatility. I also have a Schacht Inkle and a 2-shaft table loom. My table loom is an older American brand, called a Peacock Loom, much smaller and less substantial than yours. I suspect yours is Finnish or Russian. FYI, the ultimate band-weaving loom, in my opinion, is the table loom! And two shafts is really all your need. Just remove the reed and thread for plainweave. Works better than any of the ones I've tried that are actually made for bandweaving! Also great for tablet/card weaving, just weight the warp ends and hang them off the back beam. Have fun on your journey, and keep posting, please!!!
That's really smart for band weaving! I should try that! I hope to be able to set up my ideal one day again, I miss weaving on it even though I love my David
Can we use it as a belt?
Super 💗💗💗💗💗
Wish you explained .
Something I’ve done with my rigid heddle loom is to wind the warp forward and then lash on to the back. I know exactly what you mean about a short warp. I haven’t tried it myself yet but I think I will give it a go.
I should give that a go next time!
mum enjoyed watching.
I know you now have a countermarche loom but I would love to hear more counterbalance loom stories. I have an extremely old Counterbalance loom that an elderly lady brought with her to Australia when she emigrated here from Sweden eighty years ago. She told me it was an antique already when she had it as a young woman. It doesn’t have any lamms and I’m curious about how I should best use it. It’s really lovely madof unfinished pine which has worn from use so that the grain of the wood stands up above the soft inter grain. She thought no one would want it and her son was going to chop it up for firewood. I’m so so glad that I have it and hope to pass it on one day.
Oh that's sounds wonderful! Really hope to have enough space to have my counter balance loom up along side my David loom eventually! What i really love about them is how they weave perfectly with such old technology. I was looking at one in a museum back in my home region that was over 400 years, that was just as you described, counterbalance with no lamms, but other than that it basically looked just like my Glimåkra!
@@sarakaluczaweaving Wow, my friend told me it was a 17th century loom but I didn’t really believe it.
Brilliant! That’s incredibly helpful. Thankyou
I have never seen this art before. So interesting. What a great thing to make purse handles.
It's super interesting, and pretty easy to start too! Honestly you don't even need a loom, just use some old playing cards, a belt and search "backstrap tablet weaving" :)
Beautiful! 🥀
Thanks 🥰
That was so much fun to watch! I just love the orange silk 🧡
This project really had me dreaming about a full silk warp 🤩
It’s beautiful! Love the pattern and the colors! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, i had a lot of fun just playing around with the treadling and weft, there is a lot of variation already in 4 shafts
Hi Sara, I have a David 3 loom, the 110 cm size. I find that the shed is small on mine. I have read that the shed should be 3 inches, but on my loom I barely get 2 inches. I have tried all kind of adjustments without success. Do you have a good shed when you weave ? Thank you!
Hi Anne-Marie! That seems strange that is is barely 2 inches, that doesn't sound right. I have a nice shed, i made some adjustments when I just started to get it to where it was supposed to be. Don't think I have measured it but i have no issue getting clearance even with my end feed larger shuttles. I would post pictures in the louet David Facebook group to get help figuring out what's going on!
Sending good wishes to my soulmate. Pursue the great desire that you have cherished for so long, I am always by your side when you need it. Good luck to you.
Thank you Sara, great videos about your David 3. I’m ordering one soon and will rewatch your videos while I wait for it to arrive. The decision of which loom I was going to buy was settled when I realized how much thought Louet puts into each new version of their looms.
How exciting! I hope you dont have to wait for yours quite as long as I had to wait for mine, I managed to order mine just at the peak of first wave of covid and that big ship lodging it self in the Suez canal, it was a mess haha. But well worth the wait. It really seems they do! I have actually added to my louet collection since and bought a Jane 8s table loom for sampling :D
I was afraid I’d have to wait 4-6 months, but I found a shop who was getting them in 4-6 weeks!
I’m just sorting out got my loom. Has me intimidated bad. But I have a question. Once I get ok with it is there a way to join the sides if I want to make a cover for my bed. Tyia
Congratulations on your new loom! I recommend checking out Kelly Casanova who has a video on how to do this! th-cam.com/video/YuNkeRQBtdQ/w-d-xo.html
Hej! Jag funderar på att börja med bandvävning med denna metod och nu blev jag verkligen jättepepp! Älskar din video 😍. Men jag undrar om du säljer dina brickor? Jag har tyvärr ingen 3D skrivare :( och gillar verkligen utformningen. Varför uppfinna hjulet osv. ;).
Hej! Jag har funderat på att börja göra det så mejla mig på sarakaluczaweaving (AT gmail.com) !
C'est merveilleux
Can you please tell me if there is a manual availible for a loom tike this. I am getting a loom from the Vera Bross brand but cant find much trough google. Am in the netherlands and here this kind of looms is not used often. I am a complete newby to floor loom weaving, i do have a rigid hedle loom and do tapestry weaving. But setting up and dressing the loom start to finish is what i am looking for. For the weaving itself i can find enough info and classes. Thanks
There is a book called the Big book of weaving by Laila Lindholm that is originally written in Swedish and illustrated with pictures of a loom like this that is really helpful, i have the Swedish version and it was invaluable to me when learning how to handle the loom! Otherwise I'm note sure, but Glimåkra/Glimakra still exists as manufacturers so they should have manuals! (Sorry for missing your comment)
Beautiful loom and thanks for the description. 👍👍👍
I love my David 2!
They pack such a punch with such a small foot print!
Love your weaving. I also love your wardrobe in the background... reminds me of my time in Sweden.
Thanks 😸 And that wardrobe is my favorite, but it's actually German! My husband is German and his mother brought it with her all the way up here. It's so beautiful!
@@sarakaluczaweaving There is a form of similar painted furniture done in Sweden too although the flowers are usually larger the green colour is almost the same. I had a side table painted in the green. I have a Glimakra Julia that I'm just learning.
So interesting! Thank you for sharing 😊
